Fragment ebooka The Silver Key - Howard Phillips Lovecraft

Howard Phillips Lovecraft was an American author of fantasy,
horror and science fiction. He is notable for blending elements of
science fiction and horror; and for popularizing "cosmic horror":
the notion that some concepts, entities or experiences are barely
comprehensible to human minds, and those who delve into such risk
their sanity. Lovecraft has become a cult figure in the horror
genre and is noted as creator of the "Cthulhu Mythos," a series of
loosely interconnected fictions featuring a "pantheon" of nonhuman
creatures, as well as the famed Necronomicon, a grimoire of magical
rites and forbidden lore. His works typically had a tone of "cosmic
pessimism," regarding mankind as insignificant and powerless in the
universe. Lovecraft's readership was limited during his life, and
his works, particularly early in his career, have been criticized
as occasionally ponderous, and for their uneven quality.
Nevertheless, Lovecraft’s reputation has grown tremendously over
the decades, and he is now commonly regarded as one of the most
important horror writers of the 20th Century, exerting an influence
that is widespread, though often indirect. Source: Wikipedia
